Payroll for Construction Companies
Payroll for construction companies can be more complex than standard payroll because workers may move between job sites, work different hours, receive different pay rates, and need labor costs assigned to specific projects.
Details
Construction payroll may involve:
- Hourly employees
- Overtime
- Job costing
- Union payroll
- Certified payroll
- Prevailing wage rules
- Worker classification
- Subcontractor payments
- Multi-state payroll
- Workers’ compensation reporting
Details
Accurate payroll helps contractors track labor costs by job. Labor is often one of the largest project expenses, so payroll must connect properly to job costing reports.
